"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."Proverbs 1:7
I just finished (sort of) a devotional book which studies the life of Jesus using the 4 Gospels in a year.
The new curriculum of my devotion time, starting today, will be including readings of Psalms and Proverbs. I'll start from the last chapter of Psalms (and read backward) and the first chapter of Proverbs.
Hopefully, pretty soon, I should become a little wiser!

Wow! So coincident! I just finished reading Job today and will start to read Psalms from tomorrow onwards (forward).
Let's become much wiser!
grreat!!!
I've read two chapters today, because sometimes I'm not full by just reading one chapter. But of course, sometimes, I will divide a chapter into two (two days) when I want to have a deeper meditation. Are we doing the same?
sometimes i read a little faster and sometimes a little slower, but i tend to read only a paragraph. for example, i spent the past 3 days to finish Prov. 1.
it's quite interesting, on the 1st day, i noticed the parallel of "knowledge" and "the fear of the Lord" in v.7; this morning i read the same idea in v.29.
i'm slow - still digesting "fear of the Lord." i remember the senior (retired) pastor at my local church said that "the fear of the Lord" in the Old Testament means the same thing as "faith or trust in the Lord" in the Testament ... something like that.
i also enjoy balancing the reading of Proverbs, which deals mostly with our mundane life, with the reading of Psalms, which draws our thoughts upward.
